6 speed gear box
-
Could it be that jap imports have a limiter but uk spec don't?
the majority of people on this website have the k8 engine as far as I'm aware whereas irish has a 1.5 import. could this be the difference?
-
The difference is in the ECU, all european ecus have no limiter where as all ecus out Japan come pre-prgramed to engage the fuel cut at 180kmph
-
uk spec ones arn't limited, i agree with the fuel thing, at 80ish your at 3500RPMish although mine hits the red line at 140, so i dont think top end speed is a problem :?

@0bed240270=Phobea:
Surely for 5th gear top speed is a bit more important than acceleration though. It is for me anyway. All preference at the end of the day tho.
With my KLZE I'm using a tranny from a 626 (not sure if you have those over there but same gearing as the mx-6). I've had my kl36 ecu modified with no rev limiters or fuel cutoff… fastest I've been in the mx-3 is 154mph and I didn't want to go much faster than that :D I'm sure that's very close to the limit though... maybe squeeze out another 6mph... not sure though
-
we certainly do, but they aint the most popular car :lol:
-
my standard k8 takes me up to 140 its an m reg ( 95 ) but useing the vin its a 93

Does the whole box just slap on? All G series - so all good? Or did you have to take them apart and swap internals etc?

I just slapped the whole tranny right onto the klze. The only thing I had to do was move one of the studs on the top for the tranny mount!
If you want a higher top speed this is the tranny to go with… 4.39 vs. 4.11 final gear ratio :D
James Lee: I am assuming you mean 140kph?
-
nice, that sounds mighty tempting. So all gears taller? Affect your 1/4 mile much? Must help the economy a few mpg
-
no Marco i mean 140 mph i am in the uk dorset to be exact
-
leave me out of this, it's between you and mooneggs…
:P

im in with this statement. i can do 135 in my mx3 and still have a little to go.
